The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has said that there is no amount of development a community, state or country can achieve without peace.

 

The Governor said this while honouring the invitation to an event hosted in Awka by Chief Austine Ndigwe.

 

According to Governor Soludo, the most important thing anywhere for a town to be well developed is peace.

 

He said that he would like to live in Awka peacefully as a Governor and also after his tenure, stay in Awka where he wants peace to reign supreme.

 

Stating that his friendship with Chief Ndigwe has spanned a long time, Governor Soludo said that there was need to allow peace to reign in Awka by allowing the only Government certified traditional ruler, Chief Gibson Nwosu to exist as the traditional ruler of Awka.

 

The Governor stated that Anambra State has laws which clearly stipulates how to enthrone a king, adding that in the laws of Anambra, the only traditional ruler the government will recognize is the person with the certificate as the traditional ruler of the town.
